    First one is a mature dock. Third one looks like dock seedlings.



    Second one is polygonum persicaria.



    All three are regarded as weeds by most people. Pull them up before they seed.

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    Keep the dock if you have nettles. A dock leaf rubbed onto a nettle sting soothes the skin.

    Second one is Red Shank get rid of this as well. There is a rounder leaf on right that is Fat hen Weed out as well.

    Third one seeding of Dock Leaf, weed these out as well before they get any bigger
